  - personally I think it is more mature to use cash than to spend blindly on plastic, like a lot of people your age do. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 09:50
  - Best way to visualize spending money? - Spawn Jul 2, 09:30
I'm the other way. cash just floats away, but I have a record of all the card transactions. -- nm - mafic Jul 2, 09:24 11

- I maintain a detailed Excel spreadsheet about every cent I spend, how it fits in with my daily and monthly budget, over/unders, and avg spending rate. - Hotkiss Jul 2, 09:27 5
  - I do that too (but quicken, not excel). I just put cash in a category all its own, and try not to ever use it. - mafic Jul 2, 09:31
  - I maintain a track too, but cash I never remember, hence I use my card every time -- nm - MDH Jul 2, 09:30
  - Are you the eldest (or only) sibling in your family? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 09:28 2
    - I'm older than my one brother, yes. Is this a very older child thing to do? - Hotkiss Jul 2, 09:31 1
      - It can be, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 09:32
- ditto. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 09:25 3
  - true, but paying cash seems to "hurt" more and some people think twice before spending then. -- nm - zork Jul 2, 09:27 2
    - word -- nm - Hotkiss Jul 2, 09:32
    - not if you've ever worked a job that pays cash daily :) -- nm - 'lia Jul 2, 09:30
